There are so many dead raccoons on Wisconsin roads every year that you could hold a raccoon barbecue large enough to feed the country for a year...at least it seems that way.

Coons on my property get an eyeful of Brinkman Q-Beam, followed by a nice, cold pressure hosing. :-)

lol....isn't it amazing how cheap a zillion candle power Qer is these days.

Back when we used to recon for ducks on the slough at night in the 70s, a nice Q-beam was costly

Doubt if they ate it, as in "consumed" it.

Oh, yeah, I remember when just 100k CP was around $90. Now, I think 1 million runs about $25. The great thing about using it for varmint control is that for a couple of minutes, they're totally at your mercy. Turns them into an extremely attentive "pupil."

   Raccoons ... certainly wouldn't eat a dead Peta person.

That's a darn shame! They'd be performing a valuable community service.
